Hello to you Sherry from California. Where do you reside in California? What type of Irises do you grow there? I'm always curious about growers in California, since I have heard there is such a drought problem in California and wonder how gardeners are faring there.
As for me, I have found that I am interested and hope to grow a lot of what I have found out is "Historic" irises. I have acquired a few from Ebay and planted them. But I have found a lot more
I want to add to my collection. I like the form and elegance of historic irises. I have looked at hundreds of Iris photos and many I do not like at all, and to me, they don't look like an Iris at all.
They are "poofy" and "full of Ruffles and curls" and I do not find that attractive and it does not
look like an Iris flower to me at all. They look like a Chrysanthemum! So, I plan on growing the
old-fashioned historic irises of days gone by, just like my Mother did. I'm very excited about my
new venture indeed.
